Manly Warringah Minor League

It was a day for hitters but definitely not pitchers in the scorching heat at Aquatic Reserve as the Summer League finals got underway this afternoon.

In the Major Semi Final, the Big Dogs came out swinging to post a 9 run first inning and pile on a further 10 runs in the 2nd to blow out to a 19-3 lead. The Redbacks refused to give up, mounting a stunning comeback but ultimately falling short (20-17). The Big Dogs are through to the Grand Final.

In the Elimination Semi Final, the Forest Brewers gave up 7 first innings runs as the Pittwater bats also came out firing. A fine rearguard was mounted, but ultimately they left themselves too much to do, going down 8-6. Pittwater advance to the Elimination Final next week.

Join us at Aquatic Reserve at 2pm next Saturday as the Redbacks and Pittwater go head to head in the Elimination Final for the right to play the Big Dogs in the Grand Final.

Special thanks to the MWBU umpires who backed up after their junior finals commitments to work through the senior finals. Your efforts as always, are greatly appreciated.

Registration for Manly Warringah Minor League will be adopting a new registration process which has been rolled out by Baseball NSW with support from Baseball Australia. It will be mandatory for all players of all ages to register through their new online system called SportsTG. It is a requirement by BA and BNSW that all players must register and pay before they can take the field.

Create an account by filling in the details or if you have an account already then go to “Already have an account? Login” and login

Step 3

Complete the registration form for “Myself” or “Someone Else” like your son / daughter. Complete the player details as requested.

Step 4

Choose the competition that you would like to play for – ML Summer Comp, ML Masters Comp, ML Winter Comp etc

Player Fees

If you are playing State League and have paid full fees with State League then you may choose the option of nil payment for Summer Comp. BA and NSW registration only needs to be paid once annually so any future competition registrations (until 31 August 2018) will be reduced by this amount

Minor League baseball’s new website is an important part of the information cycle and its aim is to promote baseball within the community and give the players and friends information about the sport in Manly Warringah.

A decision was taken to allow Minor League to have their own website, that way, all of the relevant information pertaining to minor league would be able to be consolidated in one place for its members.

We hope you enjoy using this site and with time and member input, it will grow to be an informative database that our members can refer to for all of their information about baseball in the Manly Warringah area.
